About Ana (Anabel) Olmedo Gonzalez

Ana (Anabel) Olmedo Gonzalez is an integrative trauma counsellor who combines clinical work within the NHS Talking Therapy Services with a private practice in Exeter and an online offering across the United Kingdom. She brings seven years of therapeutic experience to her work, supporting people through depression, complex trauma, and bereavement by suicide, with additional focus on relationship and caregiving challenges, career concerns, and life transitions.

She holds a Practitioner License in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD) from the METANOIA Institute - a practitioner-level qualification focused on person-centred, experiential approaches to working with depression - and is professionally accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Her core approach is person-centred, informed by transpersonal perspectives and mindfulness practices, which she integrates to create a calm, attentive therapeutic environment.

Ana values listening as a healing act and aims to offer patients space to make sense of difficult experiences and move toward greater alignment and ease in daily life. Outside of practice she draws on nature, meditation, and yoga in her own routine, is undertaking yoga teacher training with Yoga Vida, and enjoys a quiet cup of ceremonial cacao to mark the close of the day.

Person-Centred and Mindful Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-directive space where the client is supported to explore feelings and make their own choices; it is often used for depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and emotions, which can help with anxiety, stress, and coping after trauma. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve attachment and communication, making it useful for intimacy-related concerns and family difficulties.

Ana approaches selection of techniques as a collaborative process. She works with each person to understand their goals, needs, and preferences, then adapts methods so the therapeutic pathway fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life demands change. Registered professionals can deliver the same core therapeutic work through these formats, and Ana uses them to create accessible, consistent support that fits the client’s life.
